# kv
The `kv` command groups subcommands for interacting with Vault's key/value
secrets engine (both [K/V Version 1](/docs/secrets/kv/kv-v1) and [K/V
Version 2](/docs/secrets/kv/kv-v2).
## Examples
Create or update the key named "creds" in the K/V Version 2 enabled at "secret"
with the value "passcode=my-long-passcode":
```shell-session
$ vault kv put secret/creds passcode=my-long-passcode
Key Value
--- -----
created_time 2019-06-28T15:53:30.395814Z
deletion_time n/a
destroyed false
version 1
```
Read this value back:
```shell-session
$ vault kv get secret/creds
====== Metadata ======
Key Value
--- -----
created_time 2019-06-28T15:53:30.395814Z
deletion_time n/a
destroyed false

```
Get metadata for the key named "creds":
```shell-session
$ vault kv metadata get secret/creds

```
Get a specific version of the key named "creds":
```shell-session
$ vault kv get -version=1 secret/creds
